hey :) hope you don't mind me posting and i'm even dating this below everyone's cos lol theirs is something you seriously MUST read (thank you thank you thank you alumni :D) but i just wanted to say that I LOVE you ij band and that I believe in each and every one of us. we're none of us perfect but i can honestly say we've gotten a whole lot closer to it in the recent months. i'm proud, our wonderful awesome fabulous delicious majors are proud, the senior comm is proud, heck, the whole batch of seniors are proud, etc etc etc. regardless of all mistakes we've made in the past (me especially) let's take tomorrow as a fresh start, a new beginning. as everyone's stressing, ENJOY THE MUSIC. you have to believe in it. believe in US! believe in this long, endless journey we've traversed; in the teachings of our wonderful conductor, Mr Clarence Tan, in the breathing and the singing and the WATCHING; in the wonder and miracle that is music. the only way you can disappoint us or yourself is if you don't enjoy it, don't try your best; and the only way you can fail music is in a lack of emotions. don't be afraid to let go tomorrow.

so, anyway, that's it! I know a LOT of us are really apprehensive about tomorrow but we HAVE prepared. we ARE ready. and we WILL do well.

googleplex (infinity's for tomorrow :P) love,
liana

p.s. singers, let's SING tomorrow (ha ha). sing loud, sing proud. we have amazing, beautiful, wonderful voices. for tomorrow we're ALL singapore idols (ha ha). LETS SHOW THEM THAT IJ BAND IS AWESOME IN EVERY ASPECT OF MUSIC.
